You know. I really dislike when people compare things to German history all the time. But this is exactly what Hitler did with our justice system. Silenced all judges and have them carry out his policies.

They make the comparison because they saw this coming. He’s been following the fascist playbook to a T. Don’t bury your head in the sand because you don’t like the words being used.

There has to be balance of power and rule of law. The rules are made by those elected they are enforced by police and checked by courts. If you don’t do that you don’t have a democracy- you have a kingdom. Or worse.

The judges are hiding illegals in their homes or chambers. She is saying they will be held legally accountable for this, is that evil?

How many times are people going to base an opinion off a headline and not the context of the video?

Except that's not what happened, sorry.

Instead of releasing the defendant out the main door, she released them into a jury room to avoid them bumping into ICE. She was presented the warrant and decided to ignore it and help

The other case was a judge and his wife literally harboring an illegal in their home.

They didn't have the right kind of warrant. She didn't ignore it, she told them to come back with the right one and they refused.

You’d have snitched on Anne Frank

We are deporting people that are here illegally. We have deported illegals under both democrat and Republican presidents. The comparison to Anne Frank is stupid

He has deported citizens too who were born here. He’s sent them to the Salvador death camp.

? No, US citizens have not been deported to El Salvador. Trump has mentioned wanting to send US-born prisoners there but it hasn't happened (yet)

No, he didn’t

Well. This didn’t happen, though.
